FAUCET ADAPTED T0 A FILTER.

Application filed April 27, 1921. Serial No. 465,043.

To @ZZ whom t may concern.'

Be it known that we, TOM BRAsoN and ERNEST F nnsr, citizens of the United States, and residents, respectively, of the borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, and the borough of Manhattan, county of New York, and State of New York, have jointly invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Faucet Adapted to a Filter, of which the following is a specification. Y

This invention relates to a faucet adapted to a filter. Its' object is the production of such a device whereby a user may draw a fluid through the faucet without being filtered, or he may in turn cause the fluid to flow through the body of the faucet and thence through the filter. The outlet of the filter is closed during the discharge of the Huid through the faucet, and the outlet 'for the faucet is closed during the discharge of the fluid through the filter, or the fiuid may be discharged through the outlet of the filter and faucet at the same time.

Fig. 1 represents a part elevation and part axial vertical section of an exempliication of the faucet and the filter; Fig. 2 shows a section of Fig. 1 on the line 2, 2; Fig. 3 is a section of Fig. 2 on the line 3,' 3; Fig. 4 represents an enlarged section of Fig. 2 on the line 4, 4; Fig. 5 indicates a section of Fig. 2 on the line 5, 5; Fig. 6 shows a section of Fig. 2 on the line 6, 6 and Fig. 7 shows a section of Fig. 2 on the line 7, 7.

A water supply pipe 18 has connected thereto a. faucet A, which latter comprises the body portion 20 having the inlet port 21, the exteriorly threaded end 22 and the valve chamber 23'. The said chamber is formed by the wall 24 having the interior thread 25 at its upper end and the depending guide sleeve 26 at its lower end. A valve seat 27 is formed at the upper end of the sleeve 26. An outlet nozzle 30 has formed therewith the head 31 and from the latter extends the tubular threaded shank 32, with the cross ports 33 connecting with the axial inlet port 35. Cross ports 36 are formed in the upper end of the nozzle 30, and a portion of'said nozzle is flattened at its lower end as indicated at 37. An operating handle 38 with the operating lugs 39 has a D-shaped opening 40 which engages the lower end lof the nozzle 30. A screw 41 is in threaded engagement with an opening in one of the lugs 39 and grips the nozzle 30. `An annularr gagement with the exterior thread and packing 57 is interposed between said nut and the cap B. With the said cap is formed the lower sleeve 59 with the exterior thread 60 and the interior thread 61. A valveseat is formed at the upperend of the sleeve 59 for its axial port 66.

An indicator arm 67 extends up from the cap B. The threads 60 of' the cap B engage the threads 25 of the wall 24.

A filter is indicated in its entirety'by the V letter G and comprises Va barrel 7 O with the bottom wall 71 and the open top Ven d 72. A handle 73 extends fromthe barrel 70; A spindle 75 has formed therewith the threads 76 and 77 at its upper portion and at its lower portion is formed a sleeve 7 8, that extends from and is formed with the bottom wall 71 of the barrel 70. The sleeve 78 has formed therewith the threads y 79 and a pointer 80 extends from the wall 71. The sleeve 78 has the bottom wall 81 and has formed therein the upper cross ports 82 and lower cross ports 83 which connect with its axial port 85. Longitudinal ports 86I are formed onthe lower outer face of the sleeve 78 and connect with the ports 83. The threads 79 ofthe sleeve 78 are in engagement with the threads 54 of thesleeve 53er' the cap B. The wall 81 is dovetailed for a valve 87 preferably of flexible material, that can be made to bear on the valve vseat 65.

A cage with the side wall v90, top wall 91 and bottoni wall 92' encircles the spindle 75 and the upper portion of the sleeve 78.

fifilte'r C` the nozzle 30 is [turned to sea-t, the

f 21,'through the ports 36 and be Openings 94 are formed in Wall 90. A cylindrical shaped filtering material 96 with the bottom Wall 97 and the top Wall 98 covers the said cage. A threaded cap 100 With the operating lugs 101 is in threaded engagement with the threads 76 and bears down on the top Wall 91 and side Walls 90,

of said filtering materiaL A capw105 withV the outlet nozzle 106 engages the Atop endI yof Y the barrel 7 0.. A cap nut 108 with the operating bars 109 is in threaded engagement With the threads 77 and bears'on the roof of the cap 105V. g, Y i.

To operate the device and in case Water is to bev drawn through the fauoetAiand outlet ,nozzle 30 Without entering the filtertC, the

valvev 87 is maintained on-,thevalve seat 65,

Y and none of the Water-Kfromthe'faucet. A

packing' ring 4B ontheV valveseat 27, sothat no Water can issue through the nozzle 30, and the operator turnsl thebarrelY 70 by means of `the 'handle 7.3.- ;By this .means the valve 87 is rai-sed fromthevalve seat-65.

By this disposition of ports Water flows'froma the pipe 18,- through the Ypo-rtgQl.' ,Thence through the cross ports 33 into.thef axial port l'35tlnfough theflongitudin'al ports 86, then-through the ;ports':8,3, into ,the .axial port 85 -ongits Way through .the cross ports '82 ofthe sleeve78..` Thea/alter now enters ythe cage havingthesidevall,90 and is discharged therefrom throughfthe. openingsf9l and thence through the filtering-material into the. barrel 70. fr From the latte-r it is: `disi charged through the` outlet fnozzlelOG.,

The 'Water ymay 'flow'. simultaneously ithrough the nozzle 30and through the ilter C, bykeeping the packing ringlzabove the valve seat- 27v andi maintaining the valve 87 above the valve seat 65. i .l
